Great Ming: Why Does Butcher Zhu Seem to Hate Me So Much?

Zhu Tong was deeply frustrated. He had never dreamed that a name differing by just one character would result in him transmigrating as Zhu Yunton, the Ming Dynasty's most forgettable imperial grandson.

His father died right from the start.

And he had to grow up in Lady Lü's "warm embrace," which made life even harder.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunton was familiar with the course of Ming history and knew what major events were coming.

So... after becoming Zhu Yunton, he did everything he could to leave Yingtian, planning to secure a fief and settle there. He worked out a strategy of building high walls, stockpiling grain, and delaying his claim to the throne, hoping to at least have some means of protecting himself after the Jingnan Campaign ended.

But reality slapped him hard.

He had already acted sufficiently incompetent, ridiculous, and even shameless. So why the hell wouldn't Zhu the Butcher kick him aside?

And every time he deliberately got into trouble, the old man would just give him a vicious beating, then act afterward as if his heart were breaking with worry.

Zhu Yunton: What a mystery. While I'm getting beaten, Zhu the Butcher seems to hate my guts, but afterward he acts so damn concerned. What exactly is going on?
